A man identifying himself as "Michael Carter" with the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office recently called Amici Italian Cafe and asked to speak with the manager.
The manager then was told that a warrant was issued for his arrest "due to him missing jury duty," according to a Milledgeville Police Department incident report. "Michael Carter" then told the manager that the Sheriff's Office needed $412 in the form of two different CashApp payments in order to avoid arrest. The manager then made the two CashApp payments, and the phone call ended.
The manager later realized that he'd been scammed and filed a police report. The same "Michael Carter" reportedly called several other restaurants downtown and attempted the same scam without success.
Everything sounded so lovely until the end.
“We tried”
If that’s not disheartening idk what is. I feel the need to quote my mom here. “I can’t have nothin nice”. Wiser words were never said.
Oh! And for gods sake STAY HYDRATED if you want to save on hospital bills. I hate summer.
Member when the river was fun and didn’t get angry and take lives? You could float down hopefully by sunset with only burnt skin that was a problem for later you? Member when your biggest fear were all the scary gar lingering about?
Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 89 and low of 72 degrees. Don't forget your umbrella! Mist for the morning, light rain shower in the afternoon, patchy rain nearby in the evening, cloudy overnight.
loving that suit! That hippie has style and wears it well.
I member hearing about this. So incredibly sad. The lady I spoke with couldn’t have spoken higher of the man he was.
"unless someone wishes to make some sort of far-flung statement about their dissatisfaction with both major political parties" omg! YES PLEASE! There's no choices, and they will never allow an independent a fighting chance. Other countries have multiple candidates to choose from.
Any reason why the sheriff rarely makes a statements its alway another Deputy isn’t the sheriff, the elected official in our county?
